[R-SIG-Mac] R “Open Document” failures: R won't launch and caught segfault

[Ossenbruggen, Paul]

I am having problems launching R. When it does launch in works fine until I click on “Open Document.” At this point, the wheel on my Mac starts to spin where Force Quit: “R not responding.”

I launched R about eight or more times. On one occasion, it ran. On all other occasions, I had to “Force Quit.”

It is impossible for me to successfully launch R so I thrashed XQuartz and R apps, reinstalled both of them and relaunched my computer. The first time that I opened it I had to Force Quit: “R not responding.” On the second try, it worked as designed.

I fear clicking on “Open Document.”

I have a feeling that: (A) R was NOT installed correctly or (B) R has a bug.

I hope someone has the the expertise to diagnose the problem. Here are the items that I hope prove useful in diagnosing the problem:

1. After reinstalling the latest versions of R and XQuartz, I get the following message:

PJO:~ PJO$ md5 R-3.3.2.pkg
md5: R-3.3.2.pkg: No such file or directory

2.  A crash report for one incident.
